A long intro, huh? - Yes. It’s gonna be that kind of video. Though these kinds of videos do not usually predict much good, let’s watch it anyway. Cause the song’s cool. And cause Woodkid’s music videos are like mysterious theme-chained chapters of a bigger picture. Example, the main character of his previous MV “Run … Continue reading A Whale’s Love

The Bricks of Thy brain / Help, I Got Lost
Let's do some tap dancing and mix it up with modern Canadian architecture. Let's do a René Magritte-scenery. "In my secret life." That's a house filled with dark corners and Kubrick-like staircases. "I cheat and I lie, I do what I have to do to get by." Ah yes, getting by obviously requires cheating and … Continue reading The Bricks of Thy brain / Help, I Got Lost
Let Me Go and Self-express Myself / Citizens Make A Country
"All I need is one mic." Just your regular guy, thinking stuff over in his head. Perfectly represented by the somewhat squatter-like scenery. "(…) only if I had one love, one girl and one crib." Now, here’s a rapper who doesn’t need all your typical rapper-things. Let real artistic vulnerability unwrap itself. Admitted, you still … Continue reading Let Me Go and Self-express Myself / Citizens Make A Country

Need some Rembrandt-like photoshopping techniques? You might wanna contact the creator of this vid. It seems he's tried a modern take on the Cast Away-movie. "Maybe I would let go ashore." Though it is unlikely that one can awaken from a state of unconsciousness with a burning torch in one’s hand, we won't talk details … Continue reading The whole I’ve-got-to-take-one-hell-of-a-dangerous-boat-trip-etcetera-just-to-save-my-life-in-order-to-arrive-in-a-country-of-spoiled-brats-who-try-to-ignore-I-exist-thingy
My Tea Is Hot
Let’s learn how to make tea. Imagine a group of nomads sitting by the fire, a camera crew, a lot of orange colouring and one man making tea. Pure relaxation is what it is. Let me introduce you to Touareg desert blues. Now, though this video is perhaps not technically difficult or experimentalist or waaaay … Continue reading My Tea Is Hot
Really?? Anytime? Anywhere?
Time to lighten up the mood. Cause even though most musical masterpieces are usually the result of pain and heartache, once in a while you're in need of "light matter". These mysteries of life, that just ain't my thing. My point exactly (for the time being). Now, who's ready for Summer? You've got the sun, … Continue reading Really?? Anytime? Anywhere?
The Mona Lisa Eye Watch
Wow, this motion picture could’ve been a painting exhibition. A modern take on the Mona Lisa. What you can do with a simple shot at the right time in the song with the right light and colour.... Oh, so this is what make-up looks like when you’re closer (not the slightest hint of skin asymmetry). … Continue reading The Mona Lisa Eye Watch

Iceland or the Moon?
Pick a stunning landscape and build your video around it. And, oh, pick something that suits your song. In this case: a The Martian-like landscape (for those who haven’t seen the film, go see it). "I’ll keep you waiting-ing, waiting-ing for me." Sounds very The Martian-like to me! Look at that, even the song itself … Continue reading Iceland or the Moon?
Love, Deep Shit.
So you see this guy on a tiny chair tapping vigorously with his foot on a drum in the middle of snowy nowhere. "Lust or love. I don’t know what’s better." Said Bluebeard. Ah yes, the eternal dilemma of our love lives. Should one go for lust, or for love? "My head you turn, my … Continue reading Love, Deep Shit.
